Liverpool's Wirtz Conundrum
Liverpool are 'convinced' they know what the problem is with Florian Wirtz right now.
Wirtz has failed to adjust to life as a Liverpool player since joining in the summer, despite having three assists to his name, including an impressive performance against Eintracht Frankfurt.
He has created plenty of chances, but the underperformance of the Reds' attackers has hindered his contribution.
- Wirtz was Bayer Leverkusen's star man last season, with the team built around him.
- Hugo Ekitike is the exception to the underperforming attackers, but even he has fluffed chances set up by Wirtz.
Many different theories have been floated around about why Wirtz has performed well, but now, it seems like Liverpool may have their own idea.
